Been having problems with CR for weeks tried uninstalling PS and re-installing as a last ditch solution. Now when I tried to access CR prefs I get a message saying Camera Raw is not installed. Can anyone point me to a download link for CR.

When I browse my photos in bridge (.cr2 files), normally I right click and select open in CR. That option no longer appears and when I try to open them directly from PS it gives me a message "Could not complete your request as it is not the right kind of document.".

When I try to access the Camera Raw preferences I am told that Camera Raw is not installed. Re-installed PS within the last two hours so it should be up to date.

No, I am on a pc but that link doesnt appear anywhere else on the page. Thanks for all your help, I do appreciate it but sadly the download link on that page for CR says to use the in-photoshop update function which I dont have. There is a link for the DNG convertor which I already have installed but not for CR.

If you saw that previous post please ignore it, I just had a brain fade. My program files are not on my C drive so yeah I located that file. What now?

Have quite for night. But if program files not on C drive that could cause major problems depending on how you install it. Default install is definately the prefered way to go or progam can no find all the pieces.

No, I have been using Photoshop for many years and my Program files have always been on a drive other than my C drive and I've never had a problem before so that is not the cause.

Well, you've jinxed yourself, then.

Wether on the Mac or on Windows, Adobe applications want to reside on your boot volume. I agree with Curt Y that having the program files on a different drive can and will confuse Adobe installers and updaters—among other things.

Perhaps it shouldn't be the case, but in fact it is.

Keep in mind that the members of the installer and updater teams—at Adobe they're separate, independent and isolated teams—appear to be recruited from the same slums in India from which Adobe recruits their customer service staff. Even within Adobe, engineers and managers sometimes blurt out in public their sentiments about what they would like to do to the installer and updater team member's necks.

The installer and updaters have not improved in recent years, quite the opposite: their quality and performance have been on a steady decline.
